In this episode of the “Forgotten America” podcast (available here on Apple Podcasts), Nick joins Cardinal Institute President & CEO Garrett Ballengee for a thought-provoking and entertaining discussion.
The conversation starts with a look back on Nick’s regional ties, career path, and his intellectual/philosophical influences. Nick then revisits his concept of the ongoing struggle between value-creators (the Creators, Enablers, and Servers) and value-appropriators (the Leech) of society, and how the struggle was the catalyst to writing Precipice.
Expanding upon Precipice, Garrett asks Nick about where the energy industry would fit into the four segments of society, which continues into exploring the importance of advocating for America’s energy industry. Also discussed is CNX Resources‘ social responsibility, including its focus on workforce development through the Mentorship Academy, as well as its environmental commitment evidenced by its new Radical Transparency initiative.
